In reply to the discussion: Dumbest ways you've injured yourself. [View all]pipi_k
(21,020 posts)47. Mine usually involve
a war between myself and gravity...
One really dumb injury happened a few years ago about a month after Mr Pipi had knee replacement surgery. I took over his job of picking up the dog poo in the yard. We have to do it about six times a day or else the girls eat it, but anyway...
I'm out there in a sloped yard wearing inappropriate footwear trying to scoop up a pile of poo in wet grass when two playful dogs (combined weight 140 lbs) come running at me and knock me over into a stinky, messy puddle of mud and dog poo.
Luckily Mr Pipi heard me screaming for help and, ignoring the pain from his knee, rescued me.
Sore knees, sore back, sore elbow...
Gravity and I have a dysfunctional relationship.

Okay, Bertha, you should have started with the shooting your foot with a BB gun--intentionally.
